The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc.SFMTOP PICKDec 31, 2020

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The pandemic has helped revenues for grocers and SFM is no exception. Cash flow from operations is up 27% and it trades at less than 10x earnings. The grocer has been investing in digital marketing and new technology and continues to expand its reach, opening 6 new locations last quarter. Rumours abound that at these valuation levels, it could be ripe for being acquired. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $15, looking to acheive $25 -- about 25% upside. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $24.63)

TOP PICK

She likes this company, because they do reasonably priced food. They are expecting 14% revenue growth next year, and 4% same-store sales growth. It is a high growth company in the consumer staples space. Also, they tend to have smaller square footage stores. They’ve seen some good growth in the number of stores, and are expecting to expand their stores by 16% this year.

COMMENT

The organic trend is one of the biggest ones in the world right now. It is a 1% trend right now, but if you look at consumer buying intent, it could be a 15%-20% trend. This is one of his new additions.

TOP PICK
